C G D
A fine young man it was indeed
C G D
He mounted upon his milk white steed
C G D G
He rode, he rode, himself all alone
C G D
Until he came to Lovely Joan
C G D
"Good morning to you my pretty maid"
C G D
And "Twice good morning, sir" she said
C G D G
He tipped her the wink, she rolled a dark eye
C G D
Said he to himself, "I'll be there by and by"
C G D
"Oh, don't you think these pooks of hay
C G D
A pretty place for us to play
C G D G
So come with me my sweet young thing
C G D
And I'll give you my golden ring"
C G D
Then he pulled off his ring of gold
C G D
"My pretty little miss, do you this behold
C G D G
I'll freely give it for your maidenhead"
C G D
Her cheeks they blushed like the roses red
C G D
"Give me that ring into my hand
C G D
And I will neither stay nor stand
C G D G
For this would do more good to me
C G D
Than twenty maidenheads" said she
C G D
And as he made for the pooks of hay
C G D
She leaped on his horse and tore away
C G D G
He called, he called, but it was all in vain
C G D
For Joan, she never looked back again
C G D
Nor did she think herself quite safe
C G D
Not till she came to her true lover's gate
C G D G
She's robbed him of his horse and ring
C G D
And left him to rage in the meadows green
